LIP STICK, EYEBBOW PENCIL, AN D THE LIKE Application iiled October 28, 1829, Serial No. 408,712, and in Belgium November 18, 1838.

The present invention relates to lip-sticks, eyebrow pencils and liketoilet articles and, more especially, to those of the type fitted with a mirror. K

6 One of the objects of the invention is to provide a make-up assembly in which the mirror occupies a minimum of space and is completely protected from the action of keys, coins and similar articles commonly to be 10 found in ladies bags and which might scratch or otherwise deteriorate the reflecting surface thereof.

Another object is to rovide a make-up assembly in which the mirror is automatically 1 moved into operating and non-operating position in the course of the normal opening and closing movements of the device.

Further objects'will appear in the course of the detailed description now to be given with reference to the accompanying drawing,

in which Fig. 1 is a perspective, partially in section, of one illustrative embodiment of the invention;

Fig. 2 represents the same device in the position of use; and v Fig. 3 shows the various operating elements, in a section taken on line 3 -3 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the various figures of the drawing, there is shown a triangular casing an adapted to cover a lip-stick b, and sealed at one end, a closure element a carrying a lipstick supporting shell 0, the latter having a longitudinal slot 0 formed along one edge thereof, an annular element (2 adapted to grip the end of the lip-stick and slidably mounted inside shell 0, a pin 03 rigidly connected to d and extending through slot 0, and 49 a mirror 6 having slots 0 e and extension e 6' formed at opposite ends thereof and mounted to slide in thespace between shells a; and c, lateral stop-guides a being provided to guide the mirror during its movement and to limit its longitudinal course by contact with extensions 6*, e

The manner in which the device is assembled and operated is as follows: Prior to assembly the slotted ends of mirror 6 formed,

50 preferably, of polished metal are spread laterallysothat (1') extensions e will i the internal surface of closure a when t5: atter is in closed positidn and (2) extensions e will contact firmly with stops a when the mirror M is in open position. Assumin a li -stick 0 to bemounted in holder d and the evice in the position shown in Fig. 2, shell 0 is introduced into casing 11 so that closure a contacts with the free end of m rror e. Inward movement of a will cause the mirror to occupy the position shown in Fi 1, the latter part of the closin movement being rendered slightly more diificult by the lateral frictional engagement of elements c with the internal surface of a During the opening movement the frictional interengagement of a and a serves to draw the mirror outward until elements e and a contact. The user then has at her disposal a mirror adapted to cover the longitudinal field of a normal pair of lips, the lip-stick being free to be manipulated. Obviously. the polished side of mirror e should, preferably, be turned outward to prevent its e ng soiled by the material inside casing a.

If desired, more than one mirror may be mounted inside casing a in the manner of mirror e and if three mirrors are used they may be formed from a single sheet of metal. The triangular form of casing a has the advantage of providing a form grip for the user. In addition, it permits pin d to be mounted so as to occupy the free space in the angle formed by two adjacent sides.

What I claim is 1. In a toilet article, a casing, an assembly including an end closure for said casing and a support for a cosmetic material connected to said end closure. said support being formed so asto be insertable into said casing, and a mirror slidably mounted inside said casing in the space between said casing and said support.

2. In a toilet article, a. casing, a hollow end closure for said casing, and a reflecting element slidably mounted inside said casing,

,said reflecting element having one extremity dimensioned and formed to engage frictionally with the internal surface of said end-closure. V

3.. In a toilet art'cle, a casing, a hollow end holder for carrying a closure for said casing,

a reflecting element slidably mounted inside said casing, said reflecting element having dimensioned to engage frictionally with the inside surface of sald hollow end-closure. I

4. In a toilet article an elongated casing an assembly including a. hollow end closure for said casing and a support for a cosmetic material connected to said end closure, said support being formed to fit into said casing, and a mirror slidably mounted into the space formed between the support and the casing when the former is inserted into the latter, said mirror having a slotted end dimensioned to engage frictionally ace of said end closure.

5. In a toilet article, a casing provided ;with a plurality of walls rigidly mounted with relation to one another, an assembly including an end closure for said casing and a support for a cosmetic material connected to said end closure, sa d support being formed so as to be insertible into said casing, and a light-reflecting element slidably mounted inside said casing and including means operative to engage with said assembly.

6. A case for a l p-stick comprising an open ended case ,of desired form, a lip-stick lip-stick, the said holder being adapted to he slid into and out of the open end of the said case, a mirror movably mounted with respect to and contained within the said case, and means for detachably connecting the lip-stick holder and the mirror of such a nature that when the lip-stick holder is withdrawn from the case the mirror is brought to the position for use, whilst when the lip-stick holder is returned to the case the mirror is brought to the out of action position.
